Pay it Forward

The Rules are quite simple:

1. Be one of the first three bloggers to leave a comment on this post, where the first word in the comment is "Yes". By saying "Yes" as the first word, you signify you want to participate in this give away. Being one of the first three to say "Yes" will then entitle you to a handmade item from me. This means that I will paint a picture for you on an 8x10 canvas. If you let me know colors and which room it is for I will do my best to accommodate you.

2. Winners must post this challenge on their blog, meaning that they then must Pay It Forward, creating a handmade gift for the first three bloggers who say "Yes" in a comment on THEIR post.

3. The gift that you send to your three friends can be from any price range and you have 365 days to make/ship your item. This means you should be willing to maintain your blog at least until you receive your gift and have shipped your gifts. And, remember: It’s the spirit and the thought that count!

4. When you receive your gift, please feel free to blog about it, sharing appropriate Linky Love!

5. If you are not one of the top three commenters on today’s post, you’re still a winner in this Time of Grace and Giving. Please take this symbol of the seasonal spirit and post it on your blog; start your own Pay It Forward Chain, and encourage your bloggy friends to do the same!

Congrats on your win! I will be a little time in accomplishing my task as I plan to work in the order that people entered. I am sure we will know what colors will be appropriate by the time I get to it. Have fun on your pay it forward. I am sure people will enjoy the paintings.

Yes, I like this idea though i am not a handy person myself. I would far rather do something or encouage someone then make them something.
Thanks for the comment on my blog. I appreciate it a lot. Congrats on the new one.

Yes :) This is a very cool idea, and I'd love to do the same on my blog! Now to think of what I will make...

But the real reason I came to your blog today was to ask if you ever received the pair of See Kai Run shoes that you won on Erin's blog. I never got mine, and I can't get a hold of Erin!

Hmmm... I wonder what happened to her. I hope it's just the business of life.

I tried contacting the company yesterday, so we'll see what comes of that. Otherwise, I guess we're out some cute shoes!

I will post about the contest today (hopefully). Such a cool idea.

Congratulations on the pregnancy! I've missed a couple of blog posts I think. Hope you're feeling well!
